The SFC Podcast

(This is the AUDIO-ONLY version of this episode. You can find the VIDEO version on our channel too)CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF SFC! In preparation for SFC's upcoming 3 gatherings celebrating 3 decades across 3 continents, Josh and Floyd wax theological and philosophical (sprinkled with a healthy seasoning of ridiculous humor) about the theme of SEASONS. Each of the upcoming 30-year celebrations will be themed around the topic of SEASONS; seasons of life, seasons of ministry, etc. Consider this hour-and-a-half conversation a fun, raw and (mostly) unedited introduction to this idea. Floyd and Josh cover the Past, the Present, the Future, a comedic take on middle age realizations and all through the lens of the Bible's wisdom literature (Proverbs, Ecclesiastes & Job). Listen in on this conversation between old, old, OOOOLD friends, and be encouraged to consider the SEASONS that God has brought you through as well as the season you're in now.

Well, we've come to the end of another season of the SFC Podcast. We hope that this season was a blessing to all of you, as we took a deep look at the gospel. We hope that your view/understanding of the gospel was expanded, and that you were encouraged by how relevant the gospel is to the "everyday stuff of life." In this final episode of "Saving the Gospel," Josh Stock and Ryan Leeds sit down to discuss some of their highlights from the past season. As Josh said in every "response pod," the goal is not consumption, it's transformation. We don't want to just consume information, we need to do something with it. So as we finish this season up, we encourage you to go back and to re-listen to some of these different episodes. Let it soak in. And keep talking about it with your friends. The more we talk about it, the more "gospel-fluent" we become.

Well, folks, this is the last Response Pod of the season! And for this special episode, Josh Stock invited some living legends, former pro shred and his wife (who also riiiiiiips) Andy and Amber Finch. In response to the last two pods on Evangelism, Josh and the Finches address the murky middle-ground between the two popular extremes of evangelism; namely the more public, vocal gospel presentation and the quiet life of serving in the nature of the Gospel. Less a 'which-side-do-you-land-on' and more a 'how-do-we-live-in-the-tension-between-the-two' conversation, we hope this helps you chew on how you understand and practice evangelism.

"Beauty just moves towards its replication...and so why wouldn't we think that [that] would be of use to evangelism and framing what the whole evangelism task is?" - Dr. Bryan Stone In this episode of "Saving the Gospel," Ryan interviews Dr. Bryan Stone from Boston University about the beauty of evangelism. Dr. Stone's unique perspective - on beauty and its relationship to evangelism - is something we all could learn from. So, sit back, relax, grab a pad and some paper, and enjoy this final episode on evangelism.

There's something about evangelism that is just...hard. We don't like to admit that usually, because it doesn't sound very "pious." But the truth is that sharing our faith does not come naturally to many of us. So what do we do about that? Is there something we're missing? Is there some hidden trick and/or shortcut that makes this whole sharing thing easier? Well...no. Not necessarily. But most things in life that are worth doing are not easy. And could it be that God never intended for it to just be "easy"? Stay with me for a second...cause I know that sounds a little counterintuitive. What if God has a bigger plan? What if He is challenging us to take a risk? What if...that's the point? That by taking a risk, we step into something new and mysterious...and rewarding? In this episode of "Saving the Gospel," Josh Stock and Ryan Leeds interview Zane Black, co-founder of Lovin' Life - a gospel-advancing and discipleship ministry that is focused on waking and cultivating the next generation to live life to the fullest. Zane LIVES to see people impacted by the good news of Jesus and has spent the majority of his adult life talking with people about how they can THRIVE as disciples/ambassadors for Christ. Given his experience, we knew we had to get Zane on the podcast. He is unashamed of the power of the gospel, and we're confident that his passion will light a fire in your heart! So sit back, relax, and enjoy this next episode of...Saving the Gospel.

Recently, Ted Lasso was quoted as saying, "Be Curious, not judgmental." What a simple lesson in engaging our culture with the desire to appreciate and not simply tolerate. In this week's Response Podcast, Josh hosts a conversation around the often-neglected topic of the Ethics of Evangelism (from Ryan's conversation last week with Dr. Rosalie Beck) with the SFC Support Office's own Alie Heenan and pow-surfing, German missionary in Japan, JP Koch. Listen in on the conversation as they discuss Tolerance that leads to Apathy, the Art of Listening and Faithfulness versus Fruitfulness.

"There is a kind of truth which, when it is said, becomes untrue." I’ve been chewing on this statement recently. And it's made me think about the way that I go about evangelism. In my eagerness to share the good news, is it possible that I may have crossed a line? Is it even possible to cross a line when we're talking about the most important message that the world has ever known? How do we toe the line between fulfilling the Great Commission and honoring a person's freedom of choice. In this episode of "Saving the Gospel," Ryan Leeds interviews Dr. Rosalie Beck, a former professor at Baylor University, about the Ethics of Evangelism. We hope that you tune into this episode because we have a hunch that it might address some issues (or questions) that lurk beneath the surface - that make sharing our faith feel difficult and/or uncomfortable.

In this week's episode, Joshua Stock hosts Liz Wallace and Greg Galasso from Summit County, CO in another Response Podcast. Per usual, they share their Hot Takes, Humble Pies, and Hot Lap responses to Ryan's interview with Luke Cawley, author of The Myth of the Non-Christian. Tune in to hear Josh, Liz, and Greg process through Luke's interview. We hope that this conversation will serve as a model for your own conversations on this topic!
